CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE PUMP IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING, OR PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE.
• This pump should require no maintenance other than regular
cleaning. If the pump starts to show signs of wear or damage,
contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.
• Do not use the pump if there is any damage to the mains power
cable, or to the float switch or it’s connecting cable.
• Check pump installation regularly to ensure the base inlet is clear of
leaves or other debris.
• Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself, as you may damage
the waterproof seal and invalidate your guarantee. Repairs must be
carried out by your CLARKE dealer, or contact the CLARKE Service
Department on 020 8988 7400.
If using this pump to empty a garden pond, please note that there is a small
quantity of oil in the pump seal. If the pump or seal is damaged, possibly
caused by running the pump dry, oil may leak out, and appear as a film on
the surface of the water. The oil must be cleared to prevent any possible
harm to pond life. Disconnect the pump from the electrical supply, remove it
from the pond and clear the oil, then contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.
